Reddit is saying Lamb won in an upset.

@Pielover19 the NRCC is filing a lawsuit to check for voter fraud

That it's official.

I still think Lamb will win, however

as I predicted a week ago

although, I imagined Saccone or Lamb would be within 2-3 points of victory, not 1 point

It's more like 0.2 points.

More of an upset for Saccone, considering the polling.

Trump gave him a bump to make it competitive.

To be fair to those business Republicans, they are useful for Governerships in blue states.

Like Marlyand, Massachusetts, etc.

@Deleted User @FLanon

How did Lamb pull off a (probable) victory in a Trump +20 seat? Dems turned out at 79% of 2016 votes. GOP just 53%. Data:

Lamb votes as % of Clinton total votes:
78.5%

Saccone votes as % of Trump total:
52.5%

Lamb as % of Obama total:
79.4%

Saccone as % of Romney:
55.8%

We need R turnout.

@jpc1976 me and many others were following this race since months ago. From what we could tell, Saccone was sitting on his ass expecting to coast by on voter demographics while Lamb was busting his ass meeting as many voters as possible, while stressing that he is going to be a conservative-ish pro-worker Democrat who is independent of Nancy Pelosi

Honestly Lamb deserves the victory at this point. Even though I may not agree with the party he actually put effort into his campaign which makes me have respect for him

@GermanEastAfrica And he was a terrific candidate who I believe will become president one day. This man has JFK-tier optics. Friendly face, family man, postures himself as a moderate, tried and tested opponent of the opioid crisis and a force for moderation in a political climate nostalgic for past political stability.

He's a dangerous fellow for people of our political disposition.

And the military background helps with the veteran connection

He's a v2 Obama.

And he needs to be destroyed ASAP.

Well there’s not much than can be done for now unless there is tangible evidence that he’s done something that could get him arrested.

That's right. That's why we have political operatives thankfully. With God's will, we'll find a video of him fellating a horse or something.

Jeez could you imagine that. You’re local politician is doing a fine job and is the talk of the town when suddenly a video shows up about him fellating a horse.

@GermanEastAfrica lmao

yeah

is anyone here an expert at digging up dirt ?

I sometimes wonder how people find the things politicans get exposed with

Ah-hah. Conor Lamb's predecessor, Murphy who served in his district for nearly twenty years and was a staunch opponent of abortion in Congress encouraged his mistress to have an abortion.

I guess it boils down to someone who already knows about the dirt, anonymously leaking it to the press

@[Lex] indeed, part of why Saccone lost today was that Lamb was a really strong candidate

the Democrats won't have so many Conor Lambs for November

Or they go to some obscure video website off in the deep net that has a rare video of this stuff

that's why they can learn the wrong lessons and be overconfident, stretching themselves far too thin, trying to win too many races at once

It's often a team effort into which significant financial resources are dumped. Hillary allocated MILLIONS of dollars into third-party organisations tasked with discovering dirt on Trump.

Most of which was unsuccessful beyond "grab them by the pussy" and so forth.
